Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) are regarded as highly potential materials for color conversion in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and display technologies owing to their distinctive and outstanding optical characteristics. Nevertheless, the energy transfer process occurring among various colored QDs, known as Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), results in a notable redshift in fluorescence emission, restricting the precise control of photoluminescence spectra in fabricated devices. This study presents a dual-impact technique to enhance the stability of CdSe/ZnS colloidal QDs while also preventing the FRET process. This is achieved by encapsulating the QDs within silica (SiO2) and ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) films. The research features two distinct encapsulation methods: enveloping multiple QDs within a SiO2 matrix (MQD) and adsorbing QDs onto SiO2 spheres as a shell (SQD and SQDS). Those hybrid structures are successfully fabricated with their nanostructure, chemical composition, and optical properties extensively analyzed. Moreover, the photo-physical properties of QDs/SiO2/EVA hybrid composite films and their impact on blue lightemitting diodes (LEDs) and White-LEDs have been conducted. Among those formulations explored, the MQD/EVA films stand out, displaying natural sunlight color emission with a color temperature of 4214 K, a color coordinate at (0.37, 0.37), and significant improvements in chromatic and thermal stability under high driving power. The successful integration of high-molecular-weight polymers and SiO2 coatings highlights the effectiveness of this approach in producing robust, high-quality QD-polymer film composites, making them ideal candidates for display technologies.
